Clarification about the posts read system:

Quote from: Xixax
The new topics works completely different on this system than PHPBB.

In PHPBB, it only looked at the time of your last visit and calculated which areas you had entered and looked at, then deduced (according to whether you entered that section or not) whether you "read" the messages or not.

In other words, with the old board, if you went into a message area and then left again without reading anything, it assumed that you had read all the messages.

SMF actually keeps track instead of trying to guess at what you might and might not have read. As an initial thing, you'll need to go to the "mark all as read" button, which is on the main index just above the Info Center. From then on, you'll see the "new" graphic next to new posts. And if any new messages have been added to a message area since last reading a message in that area, the indicator on the home page will show it.

notes on changes to PMs.

The board does not feature the function to edit a PM before it is received, it only has Inbox and Outbox, whereas before you also had Sentbox. you will hav to click a box at the bottom of every PM you send if you wish to save it in your Outbox.

Alternatively.. if you go to your profile and select "Personal Message Options" there is an option to " Save a copy of each Personal Message in my outbox by default."

yep.

The logins are stored in cookies, and they do seem to be working just fine. I've reset the cookie settings just in case, but if you're having trouble, clear your cookies (or at least all the ones for xixax.com), close your browser and reopen.

I don't know if this has to do with the new system, but:
I just got an e-mail giving me a new account.  It said my new name was the account name for my dvdafficianado stuff and I don't know why.  I didn't try to set up a new account or anything.  It was really weird.
Edit: I also just realized that the e-mail address that it was sent to isn't even the e-mail address that I have up here.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

this may happent to others here, i suspect that if u log out of ur current profile and click the profile link the email provided, it will say that user does not exist. ignore this, it is due to a new feature we implemented. it is possible this was another account u created at one point?

i know it seems annoying right now but i do believe everything will work itself out very soon. i was worried during the weekend when only like 8 topics were active, but activity seems to be normal again today.

Suggestion: edit the quotes so they're in BLOCKQUOTE tags, so there are indentations.  Makes it a bit easier to read.

i like the film reels but for real life soundtracks i think it would be hip if you guys could stick a musical note instead of a reel in the forum.  but nonetheless good job
